Description
Delph Bridge is a road bridge over the River Tame, likely built in the late 18th century. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a hump-backed design with a single segmental-arched span. A 20th-century footbridge has been added to the west side. The parapet is made of large stone blocks, reaching a peak at the center span, and has chamfered coping stones. The bridge is included for its group value.
